Impression Obsession-Inspired by a Quote





“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” 
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

I LOVE this quote from Lewis Carroll

Today's challenge over at Impression Obsession Stamps is to create a card inspired by a quote

I created this serene scene with a number of Dies from Impression Obsession

Small Deer

Birch Trees

I sponged the Birch Trees with a little bit of Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Ink to give them additional dimension. For the Deer, I cut two of each image in shades of brown to create a shadow.
To finish off the snowy winter scene, I addd lots of snow with my Signo White Gel Pen. I added some glitter to the top of my torn snowbank for added sparkle!

    Your card is so perfect for that quote ... and reminds me so much of the view from my parent's living room at Christmas. A cabin set back in the woods, huge windows overlooking a small aspen grove, visiting deer looking for fallen bird seed. Love it! And thanks for the super sweet welcome to the team!! :) ♥
